The Kansas City Force were a women's American football team in the Extreme Football League (X League) based in Independence, Missouri, a suburb of Kansas City.

[1] In January 2020, the Kansas City Force was established,[2] in replacement of the Nashville Knights, an LFL franchise that would have migrated into the X League but was removed after missing several procedural deadlines for participating in the 2020 season.

[3][4] Open tryouts for the Force were held at The Fieldhouse in Blue Springs, Missouri, on January 18, 2020, in preparation of the team's inaugural season.

[4] The team's 2020 season was planned to feature two home games, against the Omaha Red Devils and Los Angeles Black Storm, and two away games, against the Chicago Blitz and Seattle Thunder.

[6][7] However, as the league preferred a matchup between two capable teams instead of a one-sided contest between a more-established team and a team of rookies, the league decided to replace the Force roster with coaches and players from the Atlanta Empire; Kansas City was assessed the loss while Atlanta personnel returned to compete for the Empire.
